Centennial Park Mobile Home Noise BarrierVehicles are traveling extremely close to our homes and will be even closer once the MN pass lane is built. A semi-truck just flew off the side of the road and would have struck one of our homes except there was a pile of wood chippings from the tree and bush removal to build the new lane.26 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Preston

Every citizen deserves a voice! End prison disenfranchisementA true democracy that is of, by, and for the people must extend the right to vote to all its citizens. But by taking the right to vote away from incarcerated people, we’ve created a class of people who are subject to the laws of this country -- but have no say in how they're governed. Then, when district lines are drawn, many states count incarcerated people as residents of the community where the prison is -- violating the principle of one person, one vote. That unfairly skews political representation towards the rural, whiter communities where prisons get built. Our mass incarceration system is silencing the voices and communities most impacted by it. And that’s by design -- dating back to the Jim Crow era, felony disenfranchisement laws have been used to attack Black people’s political power. Join us in calling on state and federal officials to end prison disenfranchisement once and for all.286 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Common Cause

Restore the eliminated teaching position at the Language-based Learning Disability Program at the...Our children, Abraham, Angel, and Kai, are 3 of the children with dyslexia who attend the Language-based Learning Disability Program at Graham and Parks school, which is about to be cut in half, removing 1 of 2 teachers. Children in this program need more resources. Eliminating this position will make it harder for students to receive the support they need to catch up to their peers and to be included with their peers as they prepare to go to the upper school. Eliminating this position will make it difficult for children who have yet to be identified who need this program to access these resources.63 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mercedes Soto

#MenForTheERA Demand The Senate Hold a Hearing on the Equal Rights AmendmentThe Equal Rights Amendment is one state short of the threshold required by the constitution for ratification. Republicans in the Senate cling to a not-constitutionally supported version of events, pretending their arbitrary deadline for ratification means that the ERA is dead. This is simply not true, and the ERA is more important now than ever. Equality is not an issue of party. It is not an issue of politics. It is an issue of basic human dignity. The Equal Rights Amendment is a powerful and simple statement: we are all equal. Without this equality, there is no security. Without this equality, there is no safety. Without this equality, America can never live up to the aspirations of the framers and every person who continues to make us who we are. As men, we know that enshrining quality for all Americans in the Constitution will send a powerful message at home and abroad: that "We the People" includes us all.30 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ben Jackson

The Silent Destruction of Carbon EmissionsAlthough we cannot technically see what makes up the air around us, it can be inferred that pollution is consuming our environment. The rate at which we burn things as well as companies producing products for us creates an increased amount of chemicals in our air. This leads to global temperature rises, and the effects of losing important ecosystems such as the polar ice caps or the Amazon Rain Forest. Efforts must start now to secure the Earth back to its former glory, and every signature is a promise to create a world worth saving.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cherry Nguyen

The End of Plastic PollutionEveryone uses plastic, and that's the problem. Plastic consumption has drastically increased in the last decade, and its a worldwide problem to be able to find a dumping ground for it. This has resulted in our ecosystems being polluted by non recyclable plastics and species being on the endangered animals list. The effort to make a change starts now, or the effects of our consumer culture will be non reversible in preserving our Earth.780 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Cherry Nguyen

Ann Arbor needs the EPA Superfund to help clean up the Gelman Dioxane PlumeThe residents of Ann Arbor and surrounding cities, county and townships are tired of watching the contamination spread for 35 years closer towards our cities drinking water intake and homes with wells. The MDEQ and the polluter are not containing or controlling the spread, and they have slowed down remediation. The polluter is a multi-billion dollar company, Danaher (who bought Pall, who bought Gelman), who needs to be enforced by EPA to clean this up once and for all.588 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Elizabeth Collins

ABC: Fire Meghan McCain from The View!The Anti-Defamation League reports that in 2018, virtually every extremist murder in the US was at the hands of right-wing extremists. To add to that growing crisis, the DHS recently disbanded its task force devoted to stamping out white nationalist terrorism. Those who use their public platform as a bully pulpit for mendacity and fearmongering, at a time when ethnic minorities are increasingly more likely to fall victim to hate crimes, should not be given airtime to spread lies that have the effect of inciting the wounds of right-wing nationalism from which this nation is trying desperately to heal. Fire Meghan McCain from The View.95 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Taryn Jay

SAFER SCHOOLS: Remove Maine's Non-Medical Vaccine ExemptionsThe Maine State Senate will vote on this bill soon - likely on Thursday, May 2nd. We need to show our Senators that we support this bill as written, with no further amendments. Removing only philosophical exemptions and keeping religious exemptions will simply shift how people claim exemptions. This loophole will perpetuate the poor community immunity rates that are currently putting Maine at risk of an outbreak. Removing both philosophical and religious exemptions will make our schools, communities, and state safer. Maine has one of the highest vaccination refusal rates in the nation. With a 5.3% opt out rate, our state is on the precipice of losing the benefits of community immunity in our communities. When children aren’t vaccinated, we’re all at risk, especially infants, children and adults with weakened immune systems, and the elderly. We stand with Maine parents that demand action now to protect our children from preventable diseases. We demand protection for our most vulnerable children who rely on the protection of community immunity because they can’t be vaccinated. We must recognize that this as a worsening public health crisis and take action now. We believe that all children should be vaccinated in order to attend school and day care, unless there is a legitimate medical reason for not doing so. Maine families recognize that by enrolling their children in schools and day care means they are part of a larger community. Part of existing in a larger community is acknowledging our duties as a member of that community, especially to those who are most vulnerable. We stand with the parents whose children are undergoing chemotherapy, who should not be forced to fret about whether their child will die from a preventable disease if she attends school in Maine. We stand with the parents who find it unacceptable that whooping cough is spreading through our elementary schools, forcing parents to miss weeks of work, and putting infant siblings and older relatives at serious risk of long-term complications and even death. We urgently support Representative Tipping’s bill in the Maine legislature: “An Act To Protect Maine Students from Preventable Diseases by Repealing Certain Exemptions from the Laws Governing Immunization Requirements.” We stand, as members of our Maine community, with our kids and with our neighbors who are at greatest risk from vaccine preventable diseases. We strongly urge you to listen to us, as concerned constituents, parents, and Mainers and support this bill. The health of our children and our community depends on you.1,493 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Richard Northe Saunders
